I think the world may look very very different in 40 years. I wonder if gasoline will be readily available and inexpensive. If it's not -- say because we've moved onto other fuels -- would you choose to keep a 'retro' automobile? Maybe any gasoline car will be prohibitively expensive in time, effort and cost. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if they were "illegal" because of environmental issues (like lead paint).
If you were going to keep a "retro" car in a world like this -- what type of car would you want to keep? Maybe a mid-engine, convertible Porsche? That might be on my list to consider...
